Wrongfully banned. Need help

[Seera1024]

They literally have all the data on the characters. Just doing story? Easy to debunk by seeing what quests they have. They have all the data to see the actual patterns that point to harassments. It is literally a wet dream when it comes to being able to see and enforce anti harassment measures.

Like I said, story or whatever.

Don't get me wrong, I think players who stalk others need to be punished.

It's just proving that it is stalking is easier said than done given that the stalker can spin a plausible lie about their intent when they were by their prey.

The problem with stalking is unless they make it blatantly obvious in chat or message that they are following you around and what not to harass you, it's next to impossible to tell intent.

Often times they leave traces or make it blatantly obvious they're stalking someone. If you look for cases like these you see them all the time on reddit. The GM's are clearly ignoring those cases and instead warn someone for dropping the "f" word when it was taken out of context. Actually the easiest way to prove it is to see if they end up on your housing plot, which tends to happen when a player is stalking another player. They also tend to send inappropriate messages so unless it's a smart person, they're not going to try hard.

Booked by the glamour police. That'll be a hefty fine.

People are getting banned for simply putting the word "Parse" in their party finders for Savage raids.

Like, I understand the whole dont ask dont tell philosophy but if it isnt directly effecting you why do you care? You dont have to even acknowledge the party.

If S.E. doesnt like parsing, maybe its time to remove DPS checks from fights and find other means for gating players from their gear.

a few reasons could had been put in jail/suspended

1. Committed or bought RMT... eg bought GIL is high on the list.
2. Foul Language in public, and repeated use there of.
3. Been toxic towards another player, or openly harrashing.
4. Enforcing things on to others or used illegal votekick, they not really happy for people votekicking for no reason... eg. someone went to pick up the hoard in HoH or POTD... and got kicked for playing the content as it is intended is a good one, or random dungeon where just vote kicked for fun or out of 'sport'
5. Spam... any kind of spamming or flooding, eg. massive ASCII art/macros... using emotes on repeat without having the text shut off... also counts as spam... another spam type that exist... is repeat of actions in public area, if you do eg. Holy over and over again, you can also get reported, whether like it or not, you may pay your subscription, but it does not mean you can do whatever you like and especially not if it end annoying people.
6. Being a mentor that abuse Novice Network kicks, or keep telling inaccurate information, or keep on putting spoilers in Novice Network.

I would rather they be banned for using the wrong tags in PF if they are doing that. Parsing has been on the no-no list for as long as I can remember here. So yeah, any public mentions can get you in trouble. Its not needed. You can judge how good you do by how fast the thing dies. Actual damage numbers is not the criteria SE wants to judge the player base with and they've been pretty clear on that.

But mostly the parsers are third-party ad-ons and those violate the ToS. That's basically it. I wouldn't be opposed to having an in-game system that gave you a general ranking based on how you did but this, like parsing would just lead to people getting ostracized. The argument that it is primarily used for personal performance is a joke. Its used to rate people for end-game content otherwise people wouldn't be required to show/post them when joining statics.

So yeah, I've been stuck in some jail cell for like an hour here with no help. What the hell is going on? Why have I been banned? Can someone help me out? This is crazy.

I don't know what's going on.
